Whats a good quiet HS/Fan for a 1366 xeon? - Overclock.net

lsudvm · 3 Weeks Ago

The fan/HS combo i bought for the 1366 xeon is noisy (Intel cr@p). Has a high pitched whine. Tried using speed fan but that did not make a diff in the noise level. Whats a good quiet cooler/fan for a socket 1366 xeon also one that does not cost much is great.

thanks.

most people would recommend a prolimatech megahalem.
personally, i've not tried one, but according to a large majority of the folks over at air cooling, megahalems are the own.
add a couple of Yate Loon 120mm high speed fans in push/pull and you'll be good for a resonable temperature at a reasonable noise level

cheers!

the new cooler master silent series fans. push about 100CFM at 2000RPM @ 19DBa

if he thinks his stock hsf is noisy, i highly doubt two high speed loons would decrease the volume. the megahalems with low rpm fans didnt perform any better then my stock hsf as i had one.

id go honestly if you have the room in your case, with a corsair h50, the system brought my friends 920 down in temps far enough for him to oc up to 4.1 ht on 24/7 stable. For 79 bucks you cant even complain about the price of the unit. so i would go for that or a decent low noise solution in the air cooling circle. i m not up to date with air coolers, but if you read between the lines, theres a lot of good coolers in the lower budget area for non overclocked procys.

That h50 is so cool - didnt even know something like that was available. After i posted i found noctua has a couple of HS/Fan for the xeon 1366 and then around 60-70. The H50 isnt much more and it gives liquid cooling.

thanks...

just do realize the H50 is an intake radiator.
Can also look at the Coolit Domino, similar concept/performance, but the domino exhausts air out of the case, not bringing cool air into the case like the H50

thansk for the option of the domino. I dont have a windows so i wouldnt be able to see the LCD onthe domino tho'.

I highly doubt that.

I'd be willing to bet that their numbers are skewed.

In fact Not >90 CFM
Says right on the box:
"Air Flow (CFM): 69.69 CFM

I would go for the Megahalems over a self contained water cooler. I don't even consider them water coolers. Thin rad, weak pump, cheap block, and tiny tubes. TBH a good air cooler will perform better then the H50 or the Domino.
